Summary

The Sodium Potassium Biological Electrogenic Pump

Objectives: STEM students learning Biology or Physics at grade level and Higher Education students in a General Biology and or Anatomy and Physiology course.

Audiences: STEM students from high school to higher education undergraduate level.

Subjects: General Biology, Physiology and Physics

The students would be required to read a description of the process prior to using the kit; this would be adapted to high school versus higher undergraduate education.

Notes:

Our printed model was scaled up 150%.

Print Na+ and K+ pieces at a 3:2 ratio. (12 Na+, 8K+)

Print the phospholipid membrane with supports, affix to platform. In reality these two models can be merged and printed in one piece, but files are separate to allow for flexibility, in case a single piece exceeds your build plate volume.
